Question

Preston can paint 375 square feet in 3 hours. At the same rate, how long would it take him to paint 812.5 square feet?

Answer 1

Answer:

6.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

First try to find the rate he can paint per hour

375 ÷ 3 = 125 ft^2 per hour

Then try to find how long it should take it for him to paint 812.5 sq ft

812.5 ÷ 125 = 6.5 hours
